An immune response is part of the body's defense against pathogens in which cells of the immune system react to each kind of pathogen with a defense targeted specifically toward that pathogen.
Allergic responses refer to immune responses that adversely affect the host, by mistakenly targeting harmless substances and triggering an inappropriate reaction. This leads to symptoms such as inflammation, itching, and swelling.
Cells of the immune system, such as T and B lymphocytes, recognize and respond to foreign invaders, called antigens, by producing specific antibodies or initiating cell-mediated responses. After the initial immune response, memory cells are formed, which help maintain a faster and stronger response upon subsequent exposure to the same antigen. This process of evoking and maintaining an immune response is crucial for protecting the body against pathogens and maintaining immunity.
The specific immune response is a targeted immune response mounted by the body against a particular pathogen. It involves the activation of lymphocytes (T cells and B cells) and the production of specific antibodies to recognize and neutralize the invading pathogen. This response provides long-lasting immunity against future exposures to the same pathogen.
Antigen is a component of the immune system. It can trigger an immune response in the body by interacting with antibodies or immune cells.
Yes, the functions of the body can be ultimately traced back to cellular activity. All bodily processes, from digestion to muscle contraction to immune response, are carried out by the coordinated activities of individual cells and their interactions with one another.

Looking for antigens is part of a specific immune response.
after a graft or transplant, the immune response of the recipient to foreign tissue cells, with production of antibodies and eventually destruction of the transplanted organ. acute rejection , acute cellular rejection , cellular rejection.
Allergic responses refer to immune responses that adversely affect the host, by mistakenly targeting harmless substances and triggering an inappropriate reaction. This leads to symptoms such as inflammation, itching, and swelling.
Secondary Immune Response is more rapid.
When mixed with an immunogen, it enhances the immune response against the immunogen
Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system in response to antigens, which are foreign substances that trigger an immune response. Antibodies bind to antigens to help neutralize or eliminate them from the body, playing a crucial role in the immune response.
The difference between humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity is that humoral immunity uses B cells and T cells whereas mediated immunity only uses the T cells. Also humoral immunity provides a defense against antigens and pathogens in body fluids whereas cell-mediated immunity protects from abnormal cells and pathogens inside living cells.
Specific response
when it an infection or something gets past the first immune response then your body uses a different response or after immunisation
in order for antigens to incite the immune response the y must be ?
